Exemplary embodiments provide systems and methods for portable medical ultrasound imaging. Preferred embodiments utilize a hand portable, battery powered system having a display and a user interface operative to control imaging and display operations. A keyboard control panel can be used alone or in combination with touchscreen controls to actuate a graphical user interface. The system includes a transducer assembly to image, measure and monitor a condition of a patient

Systems and methods for detecting changes to ultrasound scanning settings during an ultrasound examination and generating a record of the settings changes are provided. The method includes acquiring, by an ultrasound system, ultrasound image data according to ultrasound scanning settings during an ultrasound examination. The method includes monitoring, by at least one processor, the ultrasound scanning settings during the ultrasound examination and detecting a changed ultrasound scanning setting from the ultrasound scanning setting during the ultrasound examination. The method includes recording, by the at least one processor, the changed ultrasound scanning setting in a log file associated with the ultrasound examination. The method includes recording, by the at least one processor, a video clip of the ultrasound image data a predetermined period of time before and after the changed ultrasound scanning setting is detected. The video clip is associated with the ultrasound examination.

A processing device is coupled to a single ultrasound device having a single array of capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducers (CMUTs). The processing device generates a graphical user interface (GUI) having user selectable GUI menu options corresponding to respective ultrasound operating modes for the single ultrasound device having the single ultrasound transducer array. The user-selectable GUI menu options include GUI menu options labeled as representing an ultrasound operating mode for musculoskeletal imaging, breast imaging, carotid imaging, vascular imaging, and abdominal imaging, respectively. The processing device further receives, via the GUI, user input indicating selection of one of the ultrasound operating modes, and in response to receiving the user input, provides an indication to the single ultrasound device having the single array of CMUTs to operate in the selected ultrasound operating mode.

A fluid control device includes an interface to a remote fluid monitoring sensor that detects fluid flow in a patient. In some embodiments, a processor within the fluid delivery device is programmed to adjust the delivery or withdrawal of fluids based on the fluid flow signals provided by the sensor. In some embodiments, the fluid control device can display and/or record fluid flow signals thereby acting as a hemodynamic monitor.

A system (100) includes an echocardiogram measurement tool (150) that determines a subset (152) of measurements from a list of echocardiogram measurements according to a view of an ultrasound imaging sequence (110) and a mapping (154) between the view and the subset of measurements.

A method of displaying an ultrasound image includes: displaying an ultrasound image representing an object; generating a first text and a plurality of icons representing information about a region of interest included in the object; displaying the first text and the plurality of icons on the ultrasound image; generating at least one second text when a first icon is selected from among the plurality of icons; and displaying the at least one second text on a region relating to information represented by the at least one second text.

Systems and methods for producing ultrasound images are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, ultrasound image data are acquired in discrete time increments at one or more positions relative to a subject. Control points are added by a user for two or more image frames and a processor interpolates the location of the control points for image frames obtained at in-between times.

A system for acquiring ultrasound images of internal organs of a human body, comprises a scanner and at least a minimum number of components in, or associated therewith consisting of: i) an ultrasound probe head; ii) the at least one IMU, which comprises a three-axis accelerometer and a three-axis gyroscope; iii) electronic components for wired or wireless communication with remote terminals, and iv) a power source, wherein the 3-axis gyroscopes and 3-axis accelerometers of the IMU are calibrated by the manufacturer for offset, scale-factor, cross-axis sensitivity and initial orientation; and MEMS IMUs are calibrated by the user.

An ultrasound imaging system comprising a multi-use electronic display device and an ultrasound imaging device. The multi-use electronic display device is capable of communicating with one or more ultrasound imaging devices and selecting which to connect with based on at least one of previously store information, user input, and information gathered from the ultrasound imaging devices. The multi-use electronic display device may communicate with the ultrasound imaging devices while they are in a low power standby state. This approach reduces the complexity of the pairing process and provides a means for quickly and easily selecting between multiple ultrasound imaging devices.

A system comprising a multi-modal ultrasound probe configured to operate in a plurality of operating modes associated with a respective plurality of configuration profiles; and a computing device coupled to the handheld multi-modal ultrasound probe and configured to, in response to receiving input indicating an operating mode selected by a user, cause the multi-modal ultrasound probe to operate in the selected operating mode.
